Registration open for March Introduction to Dental Sleep Medicine course

This course is intended for dentists and dental professionals with an interest in, or currently treating, snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients through the utilization of oral appliance therapy (OAT).

COURSE OVERVIEW

The Introduction to Dental Sleep Medicine course is a logical way to incorporate OAT into your practice. The course includes a review of sleep related breathing disorders, such as snoring and OSA, and the impact of sleep disorders on society. A comprehensive evaluation is described that includes upper airway examination and imaging with a focus on areas of pathophysiology in OSA. Several sessions address the range of OAT and upper airway surgery for OSA. The course addresses practice issues such as developing a team approach, medico-legal issues and reimbursement. A final portion of the course is case-based and provides clinical examples of the evaluation and treatment of sleep disorders in a dental practice.
